The band’s lead guitarist Brian May recently opened up about Adam joining them on tour.

“[Adam has] woken us up, and just in time,” Brian told The Pulse Of Radio. “There’s a big call to do more shows now. So, there’s a good possibility that we will do more shows. I think, beyond that, we’ll just see.”

The 32-year-old entertainer has joined Queen on stage many times in the past, but this is the first official tour for the singers.

The 19-date North American tour will begin on June 19 at Chicago’s United Center and will wrap up on July 20 at Washington D.C.’s Merriweather Post Pavilion.

“I’m completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon,” Adam said in a statement. “The thought of sharing the stage for a full set in North America is so beautifully surreal. I’m honored to be able to pay my respects to Freddie’s memory; he’s a personal hero of mine, and I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. I know this tour will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger and the rest of the band, I feel like magic will be on display.”
